Sources & corrections
A visible evidence trail
How the desk selects records, handles uncertainty and corrects material errors.
01
What counts as a strong source
A source is evaluated for proximity to the evidence, institutional responsibility, named authorship, publication date and whether its method can be inspected.
Museum records support object data; archaeological authorities support site data; meteorological agencies support storm science. We avoid asking one source to answer outside its remit.
02
Dates, names and materials
Ancient dates are often ranges. We preserve ‘circa’, construction phases and scholarly uncertainty rather than selecting one precise year for a cleaner card.
A material is not identified solely from colour in a photograph. We rely on the site record or a documented analytical result.
- circa means approximately
- attributed identifies a reasoned but not certain assignment
- unknown means the record does not identify a maker or fact
03
Submitting a correction
Email griavorentix.editorial@gmail.com with the URL, the disputed text, your proposed correction and a reliable source. Please state any relationship to the subject.
The intended launch workflow acknowledges a report, assigns it for review and records the decision. Urgent safety or legal issues are prioritised.
04
Correction notes
Minor spelling or formatting changes may be made without a note. A material correction includes the date, original issue and corrected account.
There are no recorded material corrections in this prepublication edition as of 30 August 2026.
05
Broken links and archived records
Institutional URLs can move. When a source disappears, we look for the same record at the issuing institution or a reputable web archive and update the link without changing the substantive claim unless the record changed.
